Now that @POTUS has had his chance to speak his piece, let& #39;s do our own fact checking, since the left leaning media probably won& #39;t / can& #39;t.

"...modifications to firearms that make them more lethal, should be subject to the [NFA]"
Short barreled AR15& #39;s are NOT more lethal than a full length AR15. Why should something no more lethal than a non NFA firearm, be reclassed as an NFA firearm, based on lethality?

"...we know red flag laws can stop mass shooters before they can act..."
How do we know this? Where& #39;s the data that substantiates this? How many mass shootings have been averted by red flag laws?

"Homicide is the leading casue of death of black boys & men, ages 15 to 34."
Are we allowed to talk about black-on-black violence & the disproportionate amount of gun violence in certain communities now?

"...but you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want & no background check."
This is demonstrably false. Gun shows, as an entity, are not exempt from background check regulations.

"The second thing is, to close the Charleston loophole."
This is not a loophole. The FBI was specifically & purposefully given 3 days to complete a background check, so they can& #39;t effectively revoke gun rights by stonewalling or mismanaging the process.

"...and now, the idea that they can own a weapon, when they have a court order, saying they are an abuser."
That& #39;s vague & WILDLY misleading. TRO& #39;s prohibit gun ownership, except in the specific case where the intimate partners only "dated" AND never cohabitated.

"Wasn& #39;t easy, going up against the gun lobby, but it saved lives."
This is in reference to the & #39;94 "assault weapons" ban & it& #39;s an outright lie. The & #39;94 AWB did NOT save lives. It had absolutely no effect on overall gun deaths during it& #39;s time.

"...the only industry in America, [...], that can& #39;t be sued, [...], are gun manufacturers."
This is another outright lie. Gun manufactures are NOT exempt from lawsuits. They& #39;re only exempt from being sued for other people& #39;s actions with their product.

"Imagine how different it would be, had that same exemption been available to tobacco companies."
Tobacco companies lied about the harms their product causes & suppressed studies that proved it. No gun manufacturer has ever lied about the harm their product can cause.
